The Jaw joints or tempero-mandibular joints are my special area of interest this year.

They are the joints that move the most , especially for the chatterboxes. They are involved in eating communicating drinking and have considerable input into the bodies balance mechanisms.

They are also frequently malfunctional whether due to trauma, dental work, dental neglect, congenital issues.

Significantly improtant nerves run close to the back of the jaw and these and arteries can become affected by dysfunction at this joint causing headaches , referred tooth pain . the normal jaw should open to 48mm. and it should open symmetrically without swinging from side to side .
